1. He sat out the final 3+ minutes of the game because with Loul Deng getting hurt in the second half, with Joakim Noah out.... the Bulls had nobody besides Rose doing anything.... they were getting blown out so he sat the final 3+ minutes of the game,

2. He could have had 16 or 17 assists. He set the table a number of other times only to have the player miss the shot.

Look, there are a number of great players in the league.... a number of very good young players in the league. This post is not to take anything away from the Mayo, Westbrook or Beasley fans. Only to point out what Bulls fans have been saying all along..... that Rose can be a very big assist man in this league if only he had players around him capable of knocking down a shot or two.

Re: Derrick Rose.... 25 points, 13 assists tonight.... who said that he

Hey, how can I hate a chicago boy? That whole SAT (was it? Or ACT?) cheating thing doesn't bother me. Nor does him selling out to play for Coach Cal.

It's just somewhere along the line it became apparent that he wasn't 'the next great point guard' like everyone wanted him to be. Some people are still clinging to that, and I want to point it out that they are wrong.

Williams had a heck of a game.

And for the clown cursing and acting an ass.... if you don't like the thread, don't read it idiot. I stated what my purpose was..... toward the end of last week there was a thread knocking Rose and his ability to assist. Bulls fans pointed out that had no help. Tonight just proves our point. Rose can be a big assist guy if he gets a little help.

Yawn call me when he puts up double digit assist games consistently

I've seen rookies put up big assist games but it proves nothing if you don't do it consistently.

And to be honest in a game where there was almost no defense It'd be pathetic if he didn't have double digit assist
